English - conversational English and practicing everyday speech
**COVID19 pandemic update: Given the circumstances and taking our safety into consideration, I am currently not giving lessons in person. I am, however, available for skype lessons. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe!**
A passionate lover of the English culture and lifestyle, I have acquired official certification equivalent to Cambridge English: Proficiency (CPE) level, corresponding to level C2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (the highest level possible). After living in the United States for two years, I am currently pursuing a double major Anglais/Etudes Internationales at the Sorbonne University in Paris.
My experience in France has taught me that due to the specific nature of the English language and the limited time to practice it, there is an issue when it comes to conversational English. This is what my lessons will focus on - everyday conversational English, correction of accent, learning about stress and sentence dynamics which help you to sound more natural and understanding of phonology and the IPA transcription.
If you are shy when it comes to expressing yourself in front of others; if you find yourself lacking the "proper" expressions or tools to engage in everyday conversations; or if you just want to learn what does "hitting the books", "to lose your touch", or to "pitch in" mean - this class is probably for you. And I promise you we'll have a lot of fun while learning!
Note: This class focuses mainly on American English.

About Me
COVID-19 UPDATE: With few exceptions, all classes offered are online, until the situation is considered safe enough for face-to-face classes. Contact me for further information.My name is Joanna. I recently graduated English philology at the Sorbonne Nouvelle and was at the top of my class. I have spent most of my time traveling around the world and getting to know different cultures and people.
For me English is something more than a language. Nowadays it has become a gate to an ever-growing global community which encompasses people from all nations. You literally hear it everywhere you go. Funny enough, the first language a French native and a German native would probably pick in order to speak with one another... you guessed it, it's usually English! I find that fascinating.
But in a world where everyone speaks English, how many people can say they really know English? With an extremely rich vocabulary, complicated grammar and pronunciation that makes no sense to most foreign speakers, it is no wonder that today most of us find themselves either speaking "broken English" or completely shut down and fail to interact, even though we have all the tools necessary.
This is exactly why I chose to teach English the way I will - by conversing about popular cultural topics, exchanging cultural differences and learning idioms, learning everyday expressions while focusing on intonation, accent and a little bit of grammar and phonology.
I break down my English classes in 3 main components: spoken & everyday English, English grammar, and English culture, literature and civilization. This gives my students the chance to focus on one particular area they want to improve, or engage in a comprehensive program in order to see improvement in all of the above. In addition, I also offer essay/presentation corrections and English writing classes, so do not hesitate to contact me for more info!

My name is Joanna and I am a Sorbonne Nouvelle English philology graduate. In this class, we will cover English grammar according to your personal needs: verb tenses, adjective & adverbs, nouns, sentence construction and proper English use. In order to improve your English grammar, I will first explain the problematic points to you, and then provide you with multiple exercices, which we will then correct together.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions and further information. Hope to hear from you soon!
Do you need help with an essay, a professional presentation, a CV or a motivational letter in English?
Are you interested in how you could make your writing sound more confident and really get an idea across?
Do you need help with effective strategies to enhance your vocabulary?
Have you ever wondered what is the importance of a good paragraph and did you know that a single punctuation error could change the entire meaning of the sentence?
If you've answered yes to any of the above, or you simply find yourself curious, do not hesitate to contact me for further information!
Wether you need to prepare for an exam, a business meeting with colleagues, or are just looking to improve your general culture, I would be happy to work with you and build your knowledge on English literature, history and culture.
I feel most confident in regards to American culture and history, but I do have university training in both British and Irish civilization. The classes I offer are more dynamic than regular University lectures, encouraging discussions and understanding of social and cultural phenomena. What you should expect is a lot of reading, funny videos and educational material. Do not let the Social sciences scare you: they can be a lot of fun, too!

Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not).
Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help.
My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

Mathematics courses given by pre-PhD math studentsMathematics is a very important subject in the schools and even in the universities. As a math-major student, I have a good knowledge of math. I could offer courses for students preparing for exams in the schools, or possibly the math olympiads. I would also be happy to give more advanced courses for students who want to know more about modern mathematics, which might also be useful for high school or college-entrance exams.

Help with homework, acquisition and mastery of knowledgeHello, my name is Audrey!
I am a teacher, expatriate in Southeast Asia, I give online and face-to-face courses in Bangkok.
Over the past five years, I have had the opportunity to help numerous students in France and abroad, with attention deficit disorder, dyslexia, dysorthography, or simply those seeking self-confidence.
My studies led me to work on many and very diverse subjects but above all to learn and quickly master many concepts and knowledge!
To achieve my goals, I had to develop tricks and use methods, starting with preparing for the BACCALAUREAT. I therefore know how discouraging, frustrating and even impossible it can sometimes seem.
Also, I propose to support you to help you prepare for and succeed in your baccalaureate in the best conditions! (stress management, oral expression for Grand Oral and language orals, methodology for responding to subjects even when the knowledge is not all known or mastered, etc.).
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to talk with you about your expectations, your objectives and my working method.
